Abstract: A method for transmitting an IP data packet to an IP address associated with a host name is described. A first service message of a Short Message Service is transmitted to a Short Message Service gateway server. The first service message includes a host name resolution request for a host name. A second service message of the Short Message Service is received from the Short Message Service gateway server. The second service message includes an IP address associated with the host name. An IP data packet is transmitted to the IP address associated with the host name.

Abstract: A method for testing the hermetic seal of a packaged device, which includes: a package that delimits a device chamber; and a transducer device, which is arranged within the device chamber and generates an electrical signal indicating at least one physical quantity external to the package. The testing method includes the steps of: imposing a reference pressure in the device chamber; arranging the packaged device in a testing chamber in which a testing pressure is present, different from the reference pressure; and subsequently detecting possible pressure variations within the device chamber.

Abstract: In one example, a circuit includes a first node to receive an analog signal that is an amplitude modulated radio-frequency signal for a digital signal. An output node is configured to provide an output signal indicative of rising and falling edges of an envelope of the analog signal. The rising and falling edges are indicative of rising and falling edges of the digital signal. A first current path is disposed between a power supply node and the first node. The first current path includes a first transistor coupled between the first node and a first bias source. The first bias source is coupled between the first transistor and the power supply node. The output node is coupled to a first intermediate node in the first current path between the transistor and the first bias source. A control terminal of the first transistor is coupled to the output node via a feedback network.

Abstract: The MEMS gyroscope has a mobile mass carried by a supporting structure to move in a driving direction and in a first sensing direction, perpendicular to each other. A driving structure governs movement of the mobile mass in the driving direction at a driving frequency. A movement sensing structure is coupled to the mobile mass and detects the movement of the mobile mass in the sensing direction. A quadrature-injection structure is coupled to the mobile mass and causes a first and a second movement of the mobile mass in the sensing direction in a first calibration half-period and, respectively, a second calibration half-period. The movement-sensing structure supplies a sensing signal having an amplitude switching between a first and a second value that depend upon the movement of the mobile mass as a result of an external angular velocity and of the first and second quadrature movements. The first and second values of the sensing signal are subtracted from each other and compared with a stored difference value to supply information of variation of the scale factor.

Abstract: In an embodiment, PhotoPlethysmoGraphy (PPG) signals are processed by detecting peaks and valleys in the PPG signal, segmenting the PPG signal to provide a time series of PPG waveforms located between two subsequent valleys in the PPG signal, applying to the waveforms in the time series pattern recognition with respect to a reference PPG waveform pattern produced based on a mathematical model of the PPG signal by assigning to the waveforms in the time series a recognition score. A resulting PPG signal is produced by retaining the waveforms in the time series having an assigned recognition score reaching a recognition threshold, and discarding the waveforms in the time series having an assigned recognition score failing to reach the recognition threshold.

Abstract: A control circuit for a voltage source generates a reference signal for a voltage source, wherein the reference signal indicates a requested output voltage to be generated by the voltage source. A digital feed-forward control circuit computes a digital feed-forward regulation value indicative of a requested output voltage by determining a maximum voltage drop at strings of solid-state light sources. A digital feed-back control circuit determines a minimum voltage drop for current regulators/limiters for the strings and determines a digital feed-back correction value as a function of the minimum voltage drop. The control circuit then sets the reference signal after a start-up as a function of the digital feed-forward regulation value and corrects the reference signal as a function of the digital feed-back correction value.

Abstract: A half-bridge control circuit comprises an input terminal, an output terminal for providing a pulsed signal to a half-bridge driver circuit configured to drive two electronic switches connected between two supply terminals, and a feedback terminal for receiving a feedback signal indicative of the instantaneous voltage value at a switching node between the two electronic switches. A selector circuit provides a digital feedback signal. A subtractor generates an error signal by subtracting the digital feedback signal from the reference signal. An integrator generates an integration signal by integrating the value of the error signal. A down-scale circuit generates a reduced resolution integration signal by discarding one or more least significant bits of the integration signal. A sampling circuit generates a sampled integration signal by sampling the reduced resolution integration signal. A pulse generator circuit generates the pulsed signal as a function of the sampled integration signal.
